...ability to dodge opposing tacklers in a remarkable fashion, is extremely fast, and punts commendably. Mahan uses a change of pace, which is very deceptive to the tackler, has had a great deal of useful experience, and also passes exceptionally well.

He is able now to kick with either foot with perfect freedom, but has as yet attempted nothing more violent than a hard run around the field...
